About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Just a 2 minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean!


Enjoy a week or (less) at the beach, in the perfect spot by the ocean, at a very affordable price! Very Quiet apartment with no one above your apartment.
PLEASE consider staying a month in the fall winter or spring, only $1650. @month including VRBO deductions and taxes.

Apartment/ flat, is close to everything, especially the ocean!
Couple's so far, have found the accommodations to be more than comfortable and convenient, with adequate room to relax in style!
A well equipped kitchen, separates the living room from Bedroom/bath.
Bedroom leads to back patio where you can grill or sit out.
For your convenience, sheets can be furnished along with towels. Please let me know...because, some prefer to bring their own.
For those who will be visiting 3 days or more a washer and dryer are available for your use, in a private clean utility room next to your back sliding door! A grill on the patio is for your use ...weather permitting! Nothing fancy, just charcoal..

Enjoy listening to the ocean sitting on the front patio or take a walk from the driveway to the beach access, directly across the street!
Topsail Island is a barrier island. It is surrounded by water. Intra-coastal waterway is on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side.
It's a rugged island and has been through many hurricanes. Every one takes a toll but, Topsail comes back even stronger!
Come visit, see the history that made this island so interesting!!
Laid back and easy going, ride bikes if you want to rent them or rent a golf cart and tour at ease.
Many Island restaurants close by 9 p.m. ,
I might suggest, plan on eating earlier and party after!

Come as you are nothing fancy just a nice
time and great memories!!

It was wonderful being so close both to the beach and to the restaurants while being on a quiet little road. The accommodations are very comfortable and welcoming. Carla has gone out of her way to make it a home away from home.

Carla is a perfect host. She provides everything you need for everyday living. Just bring your toothbrush she’s thought of everything else. The home is steps from the beach, and it’s a close walk to shops, coffee, restaurants and rentals. This is our 2nd stay, so seeing Carla and Jedi was a treat! We’re sad to go😞A+ Host & location!

Great host, terrific location(beach access across street, quiet neighborhood, we didn’t need a big place knowing you spend your time on the beach. Kitchen had every thing, nice to see the extras you might need to cook with but didn’t bring or need to buy . Comfy bed, loved the thick towels ! Would definitely book again .

As most of the rentals have so many stairs, we were looking for an easy entry location. This ground floor apartment fit our needs perfectly. It was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Carla was a great host.

We were more than pleased with our stay at Anchors Away! Just perfect for the two of us! Could easily walk across the street to the beach access and just close enough to the “main” downtown area to drive a few minutes or walk if it wasn’t too hot. Very quiet area and the owner was so accommodating! The property was just as described-would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a very relaxing vacation!

This rental property was perfect for me. It was quiet, but close to shops, grocery store, all different kinds of places to eat and of course the beach. Couldn't have been better unless you were right on the beach. Cute and very clean little bungalow. Carla has thought of everything you might need for a delightful stay. Would definitely stay here again.

I was thoroughly impressed with the location and property. The apartment is well-kept, well stocked, and has all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay. Carla is an amazing host and goes out of her way to make sure that her guest are well accommodated. The property listing is accurate and a convenient spot with the beach access directly across the street and restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. I was pleased with this property selection and would highly recommend for your next stay.

Close to beach with easy access, she even shared beach chairs with us, hate that some bad person on the beach stole the chairs and my dogs toy but not owners fault. Very easy to work with and responsive to questions.

This property was Cozy, Clean, Comfortable and Convenient ! Every thing you need is there from towels to beach chairs. So close to everything in Surf City that you can walk easily to but its still quiet. It took us only a minute to be on the beach. Everything this listing says or shows is accurate. We will be going back !
